​Aside from the fabulous flora and fauna and irresistible vibrant colonial towns, visitors fall in love with Colombia for one reason: its people!

Then, pick coffee beans with traditional cafeteros, dance salsa with professionals and design floral reefs with Antioquia's expert flower growers. And, as always, you’ll discover how your presence is making a real difference.
